“The Worst Heroes Get the Best Reviews: Suicide Squad”
Sometimes studios have the tendency to burn a franchise to the ground. At least for me, the DCEU has all but sizzled out of redeemable qualities. I have been burned-out by the darkest films to ever see red and blue tights, and burned by a director who let his vision sacrifice the meaning behind the characters I love. Because of this tone, the next installment of the DCEU has worried me for a while. Would it be too over the top? Would it have too much responsibility on it to ameliorate the franchise and correct the mistakes of it’s predecessors? Would it suffer from trying way too hard to be Guardians or Deadpool-esque? Sitting in the theatre, finally seeing Suicide Squad, it is relieving to be able to say that it’s becoming a bit easier to breath in the DC universe.

I've been a big fan of the DCAU (DC Animated Universe) since day one. The Batman: Animated Series was the best after school cartoon I can remember (Aside from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and X-Men: The Animated Series). DC jumped into another stratosphere when they started making their direct-to-video/DVD animated films. My favorite of the films is probably Batman: Under the Red Hood, but its really tough to choose as almost all of them have been so great. Their latest release, Son of Batman, is an adaptation of Grant Morrison and Andy Kubert's 2006 Batman and Son storyline. A loose adaptation at that, the film veers a bit from the source material.
